Holiday Ayo - Italian racer, Francesco Bagnania went home without points after the Malaysian MotoGP Sprint Race. He fell during the 2024 Malaysia MotoGP race sprint.

Italiano experienced bad luck, because he started the race as pole sitter, but failed to maximize profits. Why did Bagnaia fall?

Bagnaia was overtaken by Martin after the start, then he was at turn 9 of the Sepang Circuit, Malaysia on the third lap.

Bagnaia failed to finish, he returned to the garage. The Ducati team's door was immediately closed.

Turn 9 is the point that drivers are most worried about. Because this area has small bumps or lumps that are dangerous if the racer goes too fast and goes inside.

"I entered the corner a little faster, I hit a bump and my front closed," said Bagnaia, quoted from Diario AS, Saturday (3/11).

Bagnaia is aware that this is not the first time this mistake has been made. Sprint races are one of Bagnaia's weaknesses this season. He falls more often.

"Unfortunately, it's not the first time this year that when I think I'm doing something to get more margin, I crash. I think it's the third time that's happened. And unfortunately, all the mistakes I've made this year in races have always been in the sprints , where Jorge is better. Because in the end, the only difference between us is in the sprint," he added.

Currently Martin is firmly at the top of the 2024 MotoGP standings with 465 points. Martin is 29 points ahead of Bagnaia in second place who has 436 points.

With this fairly large point difference, Martin's chances of winning MotoGP 2024 in the main race of MotoGP Malaysia 2024 today (3/11) are very big.

Martin now only needs to collect nine points more than Bagnaia to lock up the world champion title in the main race, today (3/11).

Martin must score at least nine points more than Bagnaia to lock up the 2024 world title. For example, if Martin wins tomorrow's race and Bagnaia fails to finish second, then the championship title will certainly belong to the Pramac racer.
